Ford enhance the Galaxy and S-MAX with more style and technology

More stylish, more comfortable and better connected - the new luxurious Ford Galaxy Vignale and the S-MAX have been updated by a range of enhancements making them better than ever before.
 
From distinctive exterior design featuring new alloy wheel options to the impressive specification of Ford’s Galaxy Vignale reveal, Ford has given both the Galaxy and S-MAX models a refreshed update, after improving power enhancements previously through Ford’s 2.0-litre EcoBlue diesel engine which offers up to 240 PS and delivers greater fuel-efficient performance.
 

Designed to be stylish


The recently announced enhancements by Ford to the sporty S‑MAX and spacious Galaxy people mover, delivers distinctive design, greater comfort and improved connectivity for both drivers and passengers. As part of the enhancements to the Galaxy and S-MAX, both models receive stylish new facelifts with the Trend, Titanium and ST-Line variants, each distinguished by unique front-end designs comprising of;

• Bright chrome upper grille and foglamp surrounds for Galaxy and S-MAX models in Trend and Titanium specification

• Unique honeycomb upper grille with a black surround and black foglamp surrounds for an aggressive sporty “Ford Performance-inspired” feel on the S-MAX ST‑Line models

• A flying “V” signature upper grille, offering a touch of elegance with a satin chrome surround, and satin chrome foglamp surrounds for upscale S-MAX Vignale and Galaxy Vignale variants.
 

Relax in comfort

 

The stylish enhancements extend from the exterior to the interior with new driver and front passenger seats offering 18-way adjustable seats that not only provide great looks and greater comfort, but also come recommended by doctors and therapists, having earned the seal of approval from the leading spinal health organisation Aktion Gesunder Rücken e.V. (AGR) (the Campaign for Healthier Backs).
 
Customers can also benefit from additional relaxation with the optional massage function and multi-contour seats also offered, making even the lengthiest journeys pleasurable. 

The S-MAX – available in five- and seven-seat configurations, and Galaxy – delivering seven seats as standard, further provide optimised comfort, flexibility and versatility with up to 32 seating and load-space combinations, as well as innovative Easy Fold Seats for the second and third rows, making life easier for just about any requirement.


 

Luxurious touches

 

If it’s luxury you wish to add to comfort, then you’ll be pleased to learn that Ford will now be offering the exclusive Vignale specification to both the S-MAX and the new Galaxy – introduced with the luxurious signature specification.


 
The Vignale specification offers a new level of refined sophistication with heated steering wheel, Salerno leather-wrapped instrument panel, and centre console. It is stylishly combined with metal grey stitching which accentuates the aluminium accents that are found all around the interior space, combined to deliver first-class travel for all occupants.
 

Our new Galaxy Vignale model takes first-class travel to the next level, and the connectivity delivered by our FordPass Connect technology helps make life simpler and less stressful for S‑MAX and Galaxy customers whether they’re driving, working or relaxing,”

 
Roelant de Waard, vice president, Marketing, Sales & Service, Ford of Europe commented.
 

FordPass Enhanced Connectivity

 

It’s not only the Vignale variant that benefits from modern luxuries. FordPass Connect’s on-board modem technology is now offered for both the S‑MAX and Galaxy variants for the first time.
 
FordPass Connect turns the models into mobile WiFi hotspots with connectivity for up to 10 devices and enables new Local Hazard Information to inform the driver of hazardous situations in the road ahead before they become visible to the driver or vehicle sensors.
 
In addition to enabling WiFi hotspot capability, optional FordPass Connect technology allows a range of convenient features via the FordPass mobile app, including Vehicle Locator; Vehicle Status that checks fuel levels, alarm status, oil life and more; and remote Door Lock Unlock.
 
Notifications of hazards including road works; broken down vehicles; animals, pedestrians and objects in the carriageway; and even hazardous driving conditions are delivered to the vehicle over-the-air.
 

Performance with Convenience

 

Performance comes in a variety of engines, available for the Ford S-MAX and Galaxy with 150 PS and 190 PS power outputs – and with 240 PS in Bi-turbo form – the 2.0-litre EcoBlue diesel engine delivers the power, torque and driving performance of a larger capacity engine alongside the fuel efficiency and low CO2 emissions synonymous with a smaller engine capacity.
 
Available advanced S-MAX and Galaxy comfort and convenience technologies include ACC with Stop & Go. Enabled by the eight-speed automatic transmission, the system helps drivers maintain a comfortable driving distance from vehicles ahead, including bringing the vehicle to a complete halt in stop-start traffic and automatically pulling away if the stopping duration is less than 3 seconds.
 
Ford’s SYNC 3 communications and entertainment system is also offered, enabling S-MAX and Galaxy drivers to control audio, navigation and climate functions plus connected smartphones using simple voice commands. Supported by an 8-inch colour touchscreen that can be operated using pinch and swipe gestures, SYNC 3 is compatible with Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™ at no additional cost.
